The Sporkful podcast episode is available here.
“I was delighted to chat with the Pasta Man himself, Dan Pashman of The Sporkful, on the name for his new pasta! Well, a new name, but an old shape, with some tweaks. I can’t wait to try it!”
From the podcast:
“The number one question Dan has gotten since inventing cascatelli is: Are you going to invent another pasta shape? The answer is probably not — the sequel is never as good as the original. Instead, he gets a better idea: find some old, obscure shapes that he loves, make a tweak or two, and team up with Sfoglini to produce them. But first he has to figure out which shapes, and how to get his hands on them. That requires a lot of taste testing and a trip to Italy. Plus, an accident threatens to derail Sfoglini’s production, and we get an update on cascatelli.”
